Vegan Fudgesicles

You guys! I don't know what the weather's been like where you are, but it's HOT here. And ohhh the humidity... I'm talking Monica in Barbados crazy hair humidity. Insert these fudgesicles - these glorious, delicious, healthy fudgesicles. Sharon from The Honour System is the mastermind behind these amazing things and I cannot thank her enough. The same day I laid eyes on these I ran out to get the ingredients. I knew it was exactly what I'd been missing. They're so good that before one batch is gone, I'm already gathering ingredients for the next. After all, they take about six hours to freeze. What if we required one within that six hour waiting period and didn't have one!? The horror. I suppose I should mention the elephant in the room. You may notice a peculiar ingredient in these: avocado! Yes! It adds creamy texture, while the cocoa powder, vanilla, and honey/agave mask the flavor making it complete chocolaty, fudgy goodness. Amazing.

Directions
Place all ingredients in a blender, and blend on low speed until mixture is smooth.
Pour into popsicle molds and freeze for about 6 hours.
To remove fudgesicles, run the mold under warm water for a few seconds and they will slide right out.

Note: we have smaller popsicle molds, so this recipe makes about 8 fudgesicles for us. If you have larger ones, it'll be a little less. Feel free to tweak the ingredients to suit your taste!
